I understand. Sometimes it s hard to bear, I found three newborn goslings dead yesterday and it was very painful to watch it. I cheer to be better next time. All the best.
(urgent - question at the bottom of the page)
Hi guys. So far the young goose laid more than 30 eggs.
Unfortunately, she is not preparing to get broody. The frequency of laying eggs slowed down, and she is getting mated.
Very first eggs of her were put under a broody chicken and they were...
It s a sad story.
I had ducklings with that problems.
I hope some expert will get to you, but frankly, it doesn't sound very promising. Have you taken him to a vet?
My original idea is water. Why, because it is his natural surrounding. Maybe his legs would be better with him having a chance to...
The geese are very likeable and cute. Mine are almost the same, but I can't determine the specie.
Nevertheless, I had 3 gigantic eggs, one was double yolker, I gave 2 other ones for three small eggs of a different specie, but hmm, I should have checked it like you did. Maybe, not all were...
Update 2.
The angel wing male is supposed to be angry only on me, but not on grandpa who spends most of the recent days with him. He even wanted a bit to bite me, I bet he would have done that if I got closer.
But he s very gentle, just pretending because of the goose.
The goose is starting to...
Hey guys, thank you very kindly. 🙂
So there are some news, another 35 chicken eggs are on the way to be born, grandpa says that a goose is getting broody, changing her voice like slowly.
Yesterday I gave her bakery yeast with mixed corn, and sunflower. Tomorrow, again. Hope she'll finally sat...
Update 1: Maybe the problem in nesting lies in a fact that goose mate with her partner?
As long as they mate, she will not brood? Or should I separate them?
About the above mentioned yeast/ferment for bakery raw and fresh - yes, people apart from my grandad give it to their chicks even now...
Hey, thank you. :) Yes, being a white goose and searching for a ID is like a Don Quijote fight with windmills.
I may contact some people in Serbia again.
The mother of these geese is from a man who lives in Syrmia (region mainly in Serbia and partly in Croatia), so they know the best. I will...
My problem is about to identify the specie of geese I have. I ll attach photos and videos (maybe, edit: I can't). It is a male female couple. She laid 11 eggs, first ones. I am afraid that she won't broode?
She lives alone with her partner. They all have very big separate space. I am looking for...
Hello people,
I am a young guy from Serbia.
1. I grew on a farm, so I am not new to chickens, but neither to other animals.
2. Heh, interesting question. About 40 adults, three males among them. And 24 young ones.
3. Chickens, sheep maybe will have, 2 geese male and female and 3 young pigs...
